He said: Opened 30 minutes before drinking. Light dark fruit aromas. A little harsh generic fruit taste that ends in a medium-short, slightly earthy finish. It’s on the dry side (NOT sweet) but not a pleasant Pinot Noir taste. I would say this is drinkable, very cheap wine that reminded me of various “home-made” red wines people have served me over the years…it’s a little rough around the edges. However with all that said you don’t find many “drinkable” bottles of red wine for less than $5.00 so if your shopping at this price point I would say this is one worth seeking out.
